Lukas 3
1 Men i Kejser Tiberius's femtende Regeringsår, da Pontius Pilatus var Landshøvding i Judæa, og Herodes var Fjerdingsfyrste i Galilæa, og hans Broder Filip var Fjerdingsfyrste i Ituræa og Trakonitis's Land og Lysanias Fjerdingsfyrste i Abilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, while his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 medens Annas og Kajfas vare Ypperstepræster, kom Guds Ord til Johannes, Sakarias's Søn, i Ørkenen.
during the high priesthood of Annas (also Caiaphas), the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Og han gik ud i hele Omegnen om Jordan og prædikede Omvendelses-Dåb til Syndernes Forladelse,
So he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins;
4 som der er skrevet i Profeten Esajas's Talers Bog: "Der er en Røst af en, som råber i Ørkenen: Bereder Herrens Vej, gører hans Stier jævne;
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “A voice calling out: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make His paths straight.
5 hver Dal skal opfyldes, og hvert Bjerg og Høj skal nedtrykkes, og det krumme skal gøres lige, og de ujævne Veje skulle gøres jævne;
Every ravine will be filled up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; the crooked parts of the roads will be straightened out, and the rough parts will be smoothed out;
6 og alt Kød skal se Guds Frelse."
and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
7 Han sagde altså til de Skarer, som gik ud for at døbes af ham: "I Øgleunger! hvem har lært eder at fly fra den kommende Vrede?
Then he said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him: “You sons of poisonous snakes! Who tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Bærer da Frugter, som ere Omvendelsen værdige, og begynder ikke at sige ved eder selv: Vi have Abraham til Fader; thi jeg siger eder, at Gud kan opvække Abraham Børn af disse Sten.
Well then, produce fruits befitting repentance, and don't even begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father,’ because I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9 Men Øksen ligger også allerede ved Roden af Træerne; så bliver da hvert Træ, som ikke bærer god Frugt, omhugget og kastet i Ilden."
But even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees; so then, every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Og Skarerne spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad skulle vi da gøre?"
So the people started asking him, “What then must we do?”
11 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: "Den, som har to Kjortler, dele med den, som ingen har; og den, som har Mad, gøre ligeså!"
In answer he said to them, “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food should do likewise.”
12 Men også Toldere kom for at døbes, og de sagde til ham: "Mester! hvad skulle vi gøre?"
Well even tax collectors came to be baptized by him and said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Men han sagde til dem: "Kræver intet ud over, hvad eder er forordnet."
So He said to them, “Don't charge more than what was determined to you.”
14 Men også Krigsfolk spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad skulle vi da gøre?" Og han sagde til dem: "Øver ikke Vold imod nogen, bruger ikke Underfundighed imod nogen, og lader eder nøje med eders Sold!"
So the soldiers started asking him too: “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Don't extort or harass anyone, and be content with your wages.”
15 Men da Folket var i Forventning, og alle tænkte i deres Hjerter om Johannes, om ikke han skulde være Kristus,
Now as the people were expectant and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he just might be the Messiah,
16 da svarede Johannes og sagde til alle: "Jeg døber eder med Vand; men den kommer, som er stærkere end jeg, og hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse; han skal døbe eder med den Helligånd og Ild.
John anticipated them all saying: “I indeed am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire;
17 Hans Kasteskovl er i hans Hånd, for at han skal gennemrense sin Lo og sanke Hveden i sin Lade, men Avnerne skal han opbrænde med uslukkelig Ild."
whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Ligeså formanede han også Folket om mange andre Ting og forkyndte dem Evangeliet.
(Indeed, with many other exhortations as well he kept on preaching to the people;
19 Men da Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes blev revset af ham for hans Broders Hustru, Herodias's Skyld og for alt det onde, som Herodes gjorde,
but Herod the tetrarch—being reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, as also about all the wicked things that Herod perpetrated—
20 så føjede han til alt det øvrige også dette, at han kastede Johannes i Fængsel.
added this also to them all: he actually locked John up in his prison.)
21 Men medens hele Folket blev døbt, skete det, da også Jesus var bleven døbt og bad, at Himmelen åbnedes,
Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus, having been baptized also, was praying, when the heaven was opened
22 og at den Helligånd dalede ned over ham i legemlig Skikkelse som en Due, og at en Røst lød fra Himmelen: "Du er min Søn, den elskede, i dig har jeg Velbehag."
and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove and rested upon Him, and a Voice came out of heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son; in you I am always well pleased.”
23 Og Jesus selv var omtrent tredive År, da han begyndte, og han var, som man holdt for, en Søn af Josef Elis Søn,
(Beginning His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (so it was supposed) a son of Joseph, Jesus Himself was of Eli,
